Use the Distributive Property to expand the expression.

The simplified expression is
PLS PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

We conclude that the simplified expression is:

`0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.7l+0.2s`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)`

Apply the distributive law: a(b+c) = ab+ac

a = 0.1, b = 7l, c = 2s

`0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.1\cdot \:7l+0.1\cdot \:2s`

`=7\cdot \:0.1l+2\cdot \:0.1s`

`=0.7l+0.2s`

Therefore, we conclude that the simplified expression is:

`0.10\left(7l\:+\:2s\right)=0.7l+0.2s`
